Portland has shed more than 18,200 residents between the pandemic’s onset and last summer, new estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show.
That makes Oregon’s largest city one of its fastest shrinking. Between July 2020 and July 2022, it lost 2.8% of its population. Among cities with at least 10,000 residents, only Troutdale lost a larger share of its residents, according to the new estimates.
